Growing Her Wings

[Verse 1:] Brother’s in the backyard diggin’ in the dirt Mama’s in the kitchen in an old t-shirt Daddy’s diesel’s coming up the street And she’s in her bedroom Growing her wings Ready to Run in her headphones Pretty in pink on all ten toes Nose in a Cosmo magazine All the junk Mama says She’s too young to read Little do they know she’s growing her wings [Chorus:] They got her whole life on lockdown Doing time behind her bedroom door I guess it’s alright for right now But outside her window There’s so much more room for running And space to discover A whole wide world to see She’s dreaming about the girl She’s gonna be Stuck in Ross County Growing her wings [Verse 2:] The neighbor boy taught her how to French kiss And Daddy’s got eyes in the back of his head He said, "no dating ’til you’re 18" Now she’s in her room grounded Growing her wings [Repeat Chorus:] [Bridge:] She wants to fly and never look down But tonight she’s tucked Inside a tiny little town In a little twin bed All safe and sound [Chorus:] And there’s so much More room for running And space to discover A whole wide world to see She’s dreaming about the girl That she’s gonna be Stuck in Ross County Growing her wings Growing her wings
